Summary

During Spring and Winter 2023, completed a co-op at Get Noticed Get Found (GNGF), a law firm marketing agency based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Joined the Marketing team as a Graphic Designer, contributing to a wide range of marketing materials aligned with the agency’s business model. Supported preparation for monthly events including trade shows, conventions, and marketing activations. Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful visual content.

Key Takeaways

I approach networking as a way to build meaningful, lasting connections, not just professional contacts. I believe the strongest collaborations are built on genuine relationships, and I strive to create bonds that people remember. This mindset has helped me grow as a designer and as a teammate.

My design philosophy is rooted in precision. I believe attention to detail isn’t just a skill, it’s a mindset. Whether crafting interfaces or shaping experiences, I critically apply this principle to ensure every element serves a purpose.

Design isn’t just about making things look good, it’s about making them work beautifully. I believe aesthetics should serve function, not distract from it. Every choice I make in my design process is intentional, driven by clarity, usability, and impact. Purposeful creation is what transforms good design into great experiences.
